hardball, not necessarily accurate but the touch but the chicago game, hey, we got the wrong thing on this kid. he can make all the throws. rest of it will be experience to deal with all the things that come up. if he can put a superbowl in his pocket throwing the ball with the leg, people are excited. >> stanford's coach is first one to win 400 games. this set its up a basket. 86-62 the final. stanford improves to 19-2. after shooting a 60 in the first round of the phoenix open, phil mickelson continues. here is his approach on 9. stops two feet from the pin. he would birdie the hole. then mickelson putting for an
